I want to send you red roses

"Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about you, right?"

In the huge lounge, Jiang Li danced twice like a peacock spreading its tail, and then threw a dart backhand. A dart in his hand flew straight to the big target board ten meters away, and landed firmly in the yellow area.The remodeled target plate also became passionate, and immediately there was a burst of electronic praise imitating cheers: "Amazing!"

"..." Yu Tang glanced at her vest, hot pants, and bare feet, and felt that her syncopated appearance was purely because she didn't take her medicine in the morning.

"The Duan's family had a festive time with the foot gang before." Jiang Li picked up another dart and flew it in place, "so it's normal not to admit that you're investigating something, maybe it's because you're afraid of hurting you in reverse. Besides, if you If you are really tied up, Duan Tingxi will have to spend money to redeem you, but it’s like the thief has been thinking about her all the time, and it makes sense to check it out."

But are the two statements related?Yu Tang sat beside Jiang Li, rubbing the tip of a dart in his hand, and asked thoughtfully, "What's wrong with the Duan family and the foot gang?"

"It happened 20 years ago. Aren't the Duan family rich? They must have been blackmailed before." Jiang Li casually threw another dart, this time it landed in the red zone.

"Unbelievable!"

"..." Yu Tang threw it away without raising his eyes, and the dart in his hand hit the button of the target board. He turned off the self-proclaimed electronic voice, and asked again: "Have you been blackmailed to have a bargaining chip? What kind of blackmail did the Walking Foot Gang rely on? What news did they get or did they kidnap the Duan family?"

"How do I know so much? In your eyes, can I ascend to heaven in place all day long and just open the perspective of God?" Jiang Li stopped and gulped down two mouthfuls of water, then gave Yu Tang a funny look, "Look Look at yourself, do you look like the kind of thief who always wants to pick up other people's family's underwear? People don't guard against you."

There was a flash of light in Yu Tang's hand, and a steel-tipped dart was firmly nailed between Jiang Li's two bare toes, with a cool breeze.

Jiang Li lowered his head and said "tsk", and said indifferently: "Why are you so violent now? It's a shame that you don't push too much if you can do it. You are like a witch. You want to take over from my family."

Yu Tang turned a deaf ear, snapped her fingers a few more times, nailing all the gaps between her toes, and then raised her eyelids, "I always feel that you have something to hide from me."

Jiang Li was stuck in place like a hedgehog, and smiled and drank his water without denying it.

"If you don't say it, then don't say it." Yu Tang glanced at the silver and slender dart tip, got up and walked out, "I believe you too."

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, swept the darts away with a flick of his hand, and followed them with bare feet, "My conscience hurts because of your appearance, as if I secretly sold the mother of the top oiran under my hand. Sang-like..."

She was halfway through speaking, when she saw the gentle Qi Lian push the door and walk in with a big fruit basket in his hand, as if he had just visited the canteen downstairs in the hospital.

Jiang Li has already taken care of the children's schooling, Qi Lian is here today to thank him.But Jiang Li was very tired of his demeanor. Look, this man really understands the world. No wonder he has been working in Dihua for ten years and is still a screw employee of a certain company.

"Well... Thank you for this matter. Peipei's mother has been really busy recently. She asked me to come and say thank you first, and then come to my house when I have a chance. She cooks herself, and we will often visit each other in the future."

Qi Lian was embarrassed to pay the 20 yuan for Jiang Li, and he was a little bit embarrassed, but with the current conditions of their family, it was really embarrassing to spend so much money at one time for their children to study for a year.So I can only accept it with a thick face for the time being, and hope to pay it back when I have a chance in the future.

But Jiang Li really didn't care about the private contacts, and introduced Qi Lian and Grandpa Zhang together, meaning that if it was convenient in the future, everyone in the martial arts would get together.And he didn't want to be an embarrassing creditor, so he implicitly rejected his dinner invitation.

"That's so embarrassing." Qi Lian gently put down the fruit basket, and immediately proposed to pay homage to the graves of Master Jiang Li and his senior brother.

"..." Well, if you can't thank her, you have to thank your ancestors.

"It's done." Jiang Li stretched left and right, and the vest that was already showing her navel was halfway up again, and Yu Tang helplessly pulled it for her.

Qi Lian shifted his gaze to Yu Tang's face, and asked politely: "I saw that you two seem to be on good terms the last time I came here, may I ask you too?"

Yu Tang also gave her a polite smile, and picked up the tea: "Ordinary people, they just know Jiang Li."

Qi Lian involuntarily looked at her hands holding tea, those hands were too slender, with well-defined joints, showing a trace of inexplicable and inexplicable thin front, obviously not like ordinary people's hands.

But he guessed that Yu Tang might be a disciple of some small sect, and he didn't want to reveal his master's background, so he didn't ask.Moreover, the ancestral business of the 72nd line of the North and the South is a killer. People who know Jiang Li may also have such kung fu. It is normal for their hands to be sharp.

"Then would you like to go to the western suburbs cemetery with me?" Jiang Li asked Yu Tang.

Yu Tang lowered his eyes and thought for a second, then put down his tea, "No, I'm going to do something." She took out two oranges and yellow peaches from the fruit basket Qi Lian had just brought, and stuffed them into Jiang Li's palm, " Just pay respects to Aunt Jiang and Brother Jiang for me."

"..." Jiang Li rolled his eyes at her in surprise, "I haven't seen someone as brazen as you for many years."

Yu Tang smiled and pushed open the door, and waved his back to her, saying goodbye.

But she vaguely said that she was doing something, but in fact, she arrived at Dihua's history museum four or ten minutes later.

Dihua is an ancient city. From ancient times to the present, it has been a crossroad for good luck between the north and the south. Not only is there frequent trade, but it was also the largest gathering place for people from the rivers and lakes to roam the world, so many cultural relics have been left behind.

She wanted to see the ancient sword that the Duan family handed over to the country.

At the same time, Jiang Li, who was wearing a sun hat, had already brought Qi Lian to the Western Suburb Cemetery. After Qi Lian toasted carefully and put down the bouquet according to the rules, he looked down at the tombstone: "I remember that your senior brother likes children." , I said before that I wanted to be a teacher, did you open this educational institution because of him?"

"He even told you this." Jiang Li was a little surprised, fanning the wind with the brim of his hat in his hands, and laughed at himself nonchalantly, "Do you think people educated by our family are suitable to go to school to harm the flowers of the motherland? I don’t have the interest and realm to teach and educate people seriously, just to make money by the way.”

She said so, but her eyes calmed down, she looked at the tombstone of the crucian carp in silence for a moment, and said softly: "Who knew that a rough guy who loves tattoos and has two big flower arms wants to be a teacher. Ridiculous."

Qi Lian looked at her and smiled, without revealing anything, he continued to ask: "I still remember that your senior brother liked a girl ten years ago, did you get married afterward?"

"No, he made excuses to dump him after he found out that there was something wrong with his health. The girl is doing well now. Last year, she just gave birth to a pair of twins. She is very happy."

Qi Lian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt sad and sad, quietly looking at the photo of the crucian carp on the tombstone, "Can you tell me about your senior brother's last few years?"

Jiang Li pointed to the upper right corner of the tombstone and replied, "Scan the QR code yourself."

Qi Lian: "..."

Qi Lian didn't say anything, maybe he couldn't say anything.

Jiang Li laughed, and turned his head towards the straight rows of poplar trees behind him, "He made all the things in there when he was alive, except for some sayings that he was handsome in his life, most of them still have to be true, but Believable."

……

Yu Tang paced slowly in the museum, her gaze gradually following the rows of display cases, she was not in a hurry to find the sword.And like to drop by for a tour, follow the internship commentary and walk around at will.

There are many ancient weapons and weapons in these large and small display cabinets, and some of them cannot be traced back to the source. The nameplates below are very brief.When Yu Tang glanced roughly at a small row of double-curved willow-leaf scimitars, the commentator next to him was also introducing to everyone:

"This is the Xiaoliu scimitar unearthed from the Erma Tombs in the northern suburbs, but because its design does not conform to the fluid mechanics of modern physics, experts speculate that these should not be small knives in the traditional sense of function, but a A kind of knife-shaped ornament, similar to our current wind chimes, which can strike each other when strung together. It is said that this sound can cause resonance and attract dragonflies. Please pay attention to its tail. There is a small hole there, which is to wear The rope is used for..."

"..." Yu Tang walked away when he heard this, this kind of small flying knife was obviously used by Jiang Li's ancestors to kill people.The reason why this kind of knife does not conform to hydrodynamics is that when the knife is pulled out, the pulp of the finger should touch the tip of the knife, not the tail, because only by touching the tip of the knife can a greater piercing momentum be obtained, and real killers know it.

As for the small hole at the tail, it is not for piercing the wind chime, but for wearing a kind of silk with excellent toughness. This kind of silk is transparent and sharp, and it cannot be seen unless it is under the light.People who use it will often throw a knife at you first, when you think you have barely avoided it, and the secret path is in danger.The person who threw the throwing knife will lightly hook his finger at you again lightly, and then your throat will be split a few meters away. Many people thought it was some kind of sorcery until they died.

It's just that this kind of "witchcraft" has been lost since it was passed down to Jiang Li's generation.

After Yu Tang turned around slightly, the light and shadow of a sword reflected in his eyes.

This sword is not the traditional bronze sword and silver soft sword, but a huge black meteorite sword. The sword body is cast with precious meteorite iron from that era.The whole is black and blue, and the blade is like a smooth obsidian, but it has lost its sharp thin edge, and it is quietly displayed in the cabinet.

Yu Tang's gaze streamed down from the tip of the sword, and gradually wandered to the blade. The blade was very clean, without patterns or ridges, and only two characters of the sword inscription: Lonely Bird.She paused here for a second, softly recited these two words in her heart, and finally looked at the hilt of the sword.

The hilt of this sword does not have an arc-shaped finish, nor does it leave a place for a sword tassel.Instead, a very small cut surface was cut out. The cut surface was not smooth, but it was engraved with tiny but fine arcs.

Although he couldn't see it very clearly, Yu Tang could still see it - it was a rose.

There was not much surprise in her eyes, and she quietly looked back and forth at the whole sword.According to the nameplate, this sword has been on display here for just 20 years, which means that it should have belonged to Duan's family 20 years ago.

Inappropriately, Yu Tang recalled the scene of Duan Tingxi holding the sword...but at that time, Duan Tingxi was only ten years old, so she should not be able to hold the sword, but she should at least have touched it.

After watching quietly for a while, Yu Tang took out his phone.The museum does not prohibit taking pictures. After leaving two photos, she lifted her foot and left here.

Not far away is the most underdeveloped area of ​​Dihua. This area is not geographically advantageous, and the roads are few and narrow. Except for some aborigines who are still here, they have been waiting for demolition, and the rest are able to leave. all left.

Yu Tang walked around the alley with ease, and finally stopped at the gate of a deserted printing factory.There is a small bridge not far from her line of sight. This bridge is far less simple and beautiful than the Qianqiu Bridge. What passes under the bridge is not a stream but some sewage.

A trembling old couple came out of a small courtyard at the entrance of the alley. The two of them carried the accumulated garbage to the bridge and threw it under a half-dead willow tree.There is not even a special place to throw garbage in this area. Sometimes a garbage truck will be parked here, and sometimes it will drive away. People nearby have become accustomed to throwing garbage nearby.

After throwing out the trash, the old couple slowly moved back together, walking for a long distance of tens of meters, with their short statures drawing long shadows behind them.

After Yu Tang watched them close the courtyard door of what could only be considered a small shanty, he turned and walked to a place selling grain, oil, rice and noodles about a hundred meters away.

"Hey? Few people come to buy these in person now. What are you looking for?" The shop owner is a strong middle-aged man, and he greeted Yu Tang while unloading from the rice warehouse.

Yu Tang looked around and looked at him, "You just came, has there been a change here?"

"Huh?" The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and climbed down skillfully from the shelf, "The original shopkeeper is my father, who is too old to climb up. I sent him back to retire two months ago. Are you an acquaintance?" ? If you buy more, I will give you a discount."

The owner of the shop is very forthright, and his face is also very kind, Yu Tang smiled vaguely, and looked away from his face.He didn't say much, just took out his mobile phone, pointed to a place on the photo and said, "I want you to send some rice noodle oil to this place."

"No problem." The shopkeeper took a closer look, pointed to the east, and confirmed, "This place is the small courtyard at the entrance of Erlanger Bridge on the east side, right?"

"Yes." Yu Tang took out his mobile phone, transferred 1000 yuan quickly, and said with a bow, "It's not just this time, please give it away when they are about to finish eating."

The shop owner was taken aback, and looked at her with a scrutiny, "There are only two old people living in that small yard. I heard that the only son died ten years ago because of the explosion of the chemical plant, and the daughter-in-law was involved in the compensation later. Jin ran away with his little granddaughter in his arms, are you an acquaintance?"

"I'm not very familiar with you. I'm just a debt-payer. Because I've been in debt for too long, I don't dare to show up." Yu Tang didn't mean to say more, and looked around, "Just give the best things, and I'll come over from time to time. .”

Although the shopkeeper had some guesses in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions, but was a little embarrassed, "Then what did I say when I took the things away... that someone bought it for them?"

"No, you can make up whatever you want." Yu Tang smiled slightly, "I heard that there are public-rented facade houses in your street community, and the income will be shared equally as benefits, and your place is a grain and oil store for community cooperation. Just use the reason of community pension benefits to talk casually."

The shopkeeper murmured in his heart: "...Where is this kind of thing?"

Yu Tang smiled sincerely at her: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The shopkeeper sighed: "Okay... okay, you shouldn't be a bad person, I can tell that."

Yu Tang just nodded slightly, didn't reply, and looked at a small fruit and vegetable supermarket across the door.

"Hey, that's my son's shop. It happens to be nearby, so it's convenient for us to help each other."

Yu Tang paused, took out his mobile phone and transferred another 1000 yuan, nodded and said, "Then please tell me again, when the two old people come to buy vegetables, they usually charge a little less money each time, and take more care of them." .”

The owner's expression became complicated, "Who on earth are you... from the old couple of the Li family?" He looked at Yu Tang, "I was thinking, the granddaughter of their family who was taken away... shouldn't be so old now, right? ?”

Yu Tang's heart moved slightly, and he pretended to be secretive, "How old do you think I am?"

"..." The shopkeeper looked at her and laughed, "It's really hard to guess, at least go to college, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to spend two thousand."

Yu Tangxin said that it was not casual, and she had saved two thousand for a long time, but the corner of her mouth curled up, and she said nonsense without changing her expression, "It's not that old, I'm not yet an adult."

The shop owner became suspicious, and began to seriously suspect that she was the granddaughter who secretly came back to visit the old man, but was inconvenient to show up.Knowing the community situation in their area, and knowing the people who care about the elders of the Li family, there is really no one else.

Yu Tang originally wanted to ask him to keep it secret, but he quickly said his goodbyes and left.

After thinking about it for a while, the owner couldn't help but walked to his son's fruit and vegetable shop opposite.

Yu Tang walked past the abandoned printing factory again, but with his head slightly lowered, walking slowly, as if he was thinking about something long ago.A few commercial vehicles parked behind her, and several decent-looking people were discussing the issue of land resumption and development, chatting enthusiastically, and one of them was holding a tablet high up, as if in some kind of video conference.

After casually turning her head for a glance, she intentionally took a few steps away.

"Mr. Duan, have you seen it? The environment here is poor at the moment, but the relevant policies are favorable, so we must focus on development in the future. If we take the lead..."

Duan Tingxi on the other side of the screen suddenly said: "Stop, don't move."

The man in the shirt immediately stopped, and Duan Tingxi said again: "Go a little to the left, then go to the left, and raise the camera a little bit..."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and she was right, the figure flashing past in front of the camera was Yu Tang.

But why did Yu Tang appear in that place right now?

After looking at it for two seconds, Duan Tingqi said, "Look behind you, that tall woman with draped hair... yes, do you remember where she came from?"

The man in the shirt was a little misfired. He was always in charge of connecting Duan Tingqi, and was busy spinning and jumping to find the angle.Although as Duan Tingqi's all-round assistant at Duan's house, he can usually answer everything else, but he really can't answer this additional question.

Although the few people walking beside me were also very inexplicable, one person just noticed it just now, so he pointed to the place not far in front of him, "He came from that grain and oil store."

Duan Tingqi pondered for a while, and the man in the shirt turned the tablet and asked, "Mr. Duan, do you want to show it to you?"

"No, let's continue talking about what happened just now." Duan Tingxi quickly withdrew his attention, "Just after a while, you can help me to ask the grain and oil store what that person did when he went in."

Shirt Man: "...Okay."

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the group didn't have a long field trip. After taking some materials, they got into the car and left. The follow-up matters can be decided after returning to the company.Remembering Duan Tingqi's instructions, the man in the shirt took a step back and asked her after seeing off these people, "Mr. Duan, do you still need to connect?"

"Let's connect." Duan Tingxi sat quietly in front of the computer, she really wanted to know why Yu Tang appeared in that place for no reason, even though she already had some guesses in her heart.

The man in the shirt is slick and handsome, fully demonstrating the highest level of male assistants in the workplace. He established a good relationship with the owner of the grain and oil store with a few sentences, which made the other party a little strange, but he did not hesitate to talk about what happened just now. Curious to discuss with the shirt man whether this is a story about a granddaughter secretly coming back to see the old man.

Duan Tingxi listened to the voices of the two of them, and didn't interrupt until the man in the shirt finally couldn't stand the familiar chatter. He held the earphones by his ears and coughed slightly to remind Duan Tingxi that Duan Tingqi Only then said softly: "Ask if the person just left a phone number."

The man in the shirt quickly said, "No."

"Well," Duan Tingqi's voice was still very soft, "leave my phone number, and give the shopkeeper some rewards, let him help take care of the safety of the two old people, and call me if there is anything urgent to contact The phone call...you can figure it out, remember to keep him quiet and keep it as secret as possible."

This was the most nonsensical order the man in the shirt had received from Duan Tingxi... But Duan Tingxi didn't seem to give him a chance to protest, and unilaterally cut off the communication after speaking.

The man in the shirt had no choice but to act like an old lady, manage his expressions well, and after seriously communicating with the shop owner, he finished this inexplicable thing and left.
